Then follow the humid river air along Melaka River and the old port edge, ending in the living storefront glow of jonker walk as Peranakan culture, temple life at Cheng Hoon Teng, and adaptive community memories (at the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum) reveal how locals resisted, survived, and fought for conservation—keeping the city alive long after the cannons and cargo moved on.
